India following developments in Thailand

India Tuesday said it was following the developments in Thailand and was in constant contact with its embassy in Bangkok in the wake of widespread anti-government protests in the Southeast Asian country.

In a statement, India also said it was "supportive of all measures and efforts to address the situation through consultations in order to uphold the rule of law, preserve democracy and restore normalcy".

The government said the Indian embassy in Bangkok was providing updated information on the current situation to Indian travellers and residents, including through its website.

UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has also voiced concern over the violent clashes in Thailand and urged all sides to enter into dialogue to find a peaceful end to the country's crisis.

Thailand, a major southeast Asian economy and a prime holiday destination, has been rocked by protests aimed at toppling the government of Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra.
